Over ten years ago, they removed some septal cartilage and grafted it onto my nasal tip. Because of that, my septum itself has become crooked and collapsed, so I’m in a saddle-nose state, and my nasal tip is crooked and my nasal bridge is also very crooked. I can even see the septum protruding inside my nostril.. Is correction impossible without using costal cartilage? At first I thought maybe just removing the septal cartilage in the nasal tip would be enough, but if that’s removed, since my nose is already collapsed like a saddle nose, I don’t know what will happen to the shape of my nose.. Originally they said they were only going to tie the nasal tip, so why did they remove and use my septal cartilage? Ah, I want to cry.. I want to go back to my old nose.. Ah.. I don’t want anything put into my nose, I just want my own nose back. Is that impossible? Even now my nasal tip is hard, so honestly it has been so uncomfortable, but if I use costal cartilage, won’t my whole nose become hard? Ah, the more I look into it, the more I regret it and feel like I’m going crazy. What should I do; And what if they harvest costal cartilage and then I have problems with my ribs too? I’m worried about scarring too. Ah, I feel like I’m going to cry.. I want to turn back time so, so badly.. Can I just leave the crooked nose as it is, or should I use costal cartilage if necessary to straighten it? I don’t even know what’s right in the long term. If I just remove the septal extension and only reinforce the septum, what will the nose shape become like.. I’m so worried it’ll become completely upturned. Then I’d have to look into surgery again, right? Ah... Why did I do that, why on earth, ha.. I’m depressed Should I look for a hospital that specializes in removal.. Is there anyone here who was in a similar condition to me and, through revision surgery, got their original nose shape back and was able to breathe well too?.. Please help me..
냔니냔냔 Hey everyone For medical judgment about the condition of your nose.. you’re more likely to get incorrect information in a community like this, and people here don’t really know either.... First, before going to a plastic surgery clinic, go to an ENT clinic and ask what you’re curious about, then go to a few plastic surgery clinics and ask for their opinions too, then come back and look through this community again In my case, my nose surgery went wrong and only my nasal tip was crooked, and I went around to hospitals in that order..
오리루랑캐 [@냔니냔냔] What I wrote in the post is what I was told during a consultation at a hospital specializing in removal.. I’ve also been to ENT clinics a few times (because I developed sinusitis and empyema after nose surgery), but I didn’t hear anything in particular.. What did you ask when you went to ENT? It must be nice that only your nasal tip was crooked.. I went to several plastic surgery clinics, but only one said correction was possible, and all the others said the crookedness couldn’t be corrected, so I’m so depressed.. So is your nose straightened again now??
냔니냔냔 [@오리루랑캐] Yes the crooked part got corrected for me.. I asked simply. If there wasn’t a functional problem, I didn’t want revision surgery.. I thought maybe you might be similar, so I asked whether living in this state would cause problems, and whether I could just leave it alone < I got a definite answer about that at ENT, and in my case they said it would be a problem if I stayed like this, so I looked into revision surgery You should also get that clarified at ENT.. and if the septum is the problem, confirm whether there’s a way to resolve it, then visit reconstruction and removal hospitals.. If many places say it can’t be corrected, that may probably be right.. Also, costal cartilage usually isn’t used on the nasal bridge, only on the nasal tip.. The nasal tip may be harder than now, but in my case, I had my primary, revision, and third surgery all only with donated costal cartilage. During the primary and revision, the foreign-body sensation was severe, but during the third surgery it wasn’t that severe. If you don’t make it too high and do it moderately, I think the hardness is a bit less too Of course it’s much firmer than a natural nose... I don’t really recommend plastic surgery clinics run by ENT specialists, but go once or twice just for consultations.. I don’t recommend the surgery itself Mine was completely ruined by an ENT specialist.. It’s better to take your time, visit many hospitals, and collect only the opinions they have in common..
오리루랑캐 [@냔니냔냔] I live in the provinces, so I’m planning to go up to Seoul and go around for hospital consultations, which makes it hard to take my time and visit many places Is it okay to just go to any ENT clinic..? Ha, if there’s no problem, maybe I should just live like this even if it’s uncomfortable.. But if I have surgery and something goes wrong again..? Just thinking about what I’d do then is horrible But since it’s not the nasal tip and the nasal bridge is hard, natural noses are like that too, so maybe it’d be okay, or maybe not What kind of answer did you get about how it would become a problem? Honestly, after surgery I developed rhinitis I didn’t have before and even asymmetric temporomandibular joint issues, and I feel like it’s because of my nose. Because I can’t breathe through my nose, I breathe through my mouth, and then my face changed and my mouth shifted.. And my sinusitis and empyema are really severe too, and I heard those are side effects people who had septal extension often experience Did you only do the nasal tip with donated costal cartilage? Did you originally not touch the septum?? If possible, I just want to leave the nasal tip alone. It’s currently tied, but the hardness of the nasal tip is sooooo uncomfortable.. I have consultations booked at about five plastic surgery clinics now. Would it be better to go to more? But I also don’t really know which plastic surgery clinics to go to..
냔니냔냔 [@오리루랑캐] Yes, I went to two ENT clinics I thought a regular neighborhood ENT would tell me honestly, so I went to the place I often went to for rhinitis and another near my workplace.. Mine wasn’t rhinitis or bone-related like yours. The crookedness itself was because it had been made too high, so the skin tension couldn’t withstand it and the nasal tip collapsed. Personally, I thought maybe there wasn’t any problem other than it just looking awful.. But they said that even though it had collapsed, it was still high, so the skin was gradually getting thinner, and if I left it like that, the skin would keep thinning, blood flow wouldn’t reach it, and eventually it could progress to inflammation or necrosis Fuck.. I had silicone in the nasal bridge and donated costal cartilage in the nasal tip. Costal cartilage isn’t used in the nasal bridge unless there’s inflammatory contracture, because if warping happens it bends.. The quack took my septal cartilage, took cartilage from both ears, and even used donated costal cartilageㅡㅡ Fortunately it doesn’t seem like excessive septal harvest, but the bone/cartilage inside the columella is a bit crooked.. I’m not sure how it’ll be long term. Since you have five places, go to those first and then think again... If it were me, I’d go to a few primary-surgery hospitals, hear their opinions, then go to hospitals that do a lot of revision and reconstruction, and also go to one or two plastic surgery clinics run by ENT specialists
